1. I don't understand what the Internship Program is about.
   The Internship Program is a career opportunity where the National Society of Leadership and Success hires you to begin a chapter of the Society, or Sigma Alpha Pi, on your campus. As a starter of your own Society chapter, you will be in charge of recruiting a faculty advisor, appointing your executive board, and handling the management and budget for the chapter. Once the chapter is established, you will be serving as the President, so you will be leading the events with your board and advisor. For a more detailed overview of exactly what you would be responsible for, please click here for the compensation overview.
2. What is the Society?
   The Society is a college leadership program that is currently on over 200 chapters. The Society's mission is to build leaders who change the world, and we do this through a few different methods. One, we have motivational speakers who we broadcast 3 times per semester to each of our chapters live over the internet. Our speakers cover a variety of topics, from academic success, to achieving your dreams, to financial success in the future. Secondly, each chapter puts on a Leadership Training Day, which is a video presentation with group and partner exercises that helps students discover their goals and passions in life. Finally, each member participates in Success Networking Teams, which are similar to mastermind groups. These are groups of 8-10 students that meet every other week to go over their goals, network, give advice, and hold each other accountable. For more information on the society, please check out the website at http://www.societyleadership.org.

9. What if I cannot make it to the retreat? Can I still do the internship?
   Our intern training retreat is a mandatory part of the internship, and is part of the compensation of the internship.

10. Does the school know about this? Will you be notifying them if I am hired?
    We do not work with the schools to hire interns so we will not be notifying them if an intern is hired at the school. One of your responsibilities as an intern will be to register the group as an official on campus organization.
11. This sounds very similar to other honor societies on campus. What makes this different?
    While there might be similarities between Sigma Alpha Pi and other honorary organizations and leadership programs on your campus, there are also differences. Sigma Alpha Pi is inclusive, meaning any student can join regardless of GPA. Students with certain GPAs will receive invitations in the mail, but students who do not receive this invitation will still be able to apply by using our nomination form. This form requires the student to obtain two faculty signatures who can attest that the student would benefit from this program. Additionally, with our Leadership Training Day and Success Networking Teams, there are many things that make the Society unique. Although there may be similarities, this is not meant to serve as competition to any other club or program on campus, and many of our chapters collaborate with other leadership programs and groups on different projects and events.
